The first self-driving bus in Tonglu, Hangzhou has successfully undergone road testing, showcasing its advanced L4 autonomous driving capabilities.

The first self-driving bus in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province, China, has been put into road testing, equipped with L4 autonomous driving technology, and plans to deploy 5 vehicles by 2025 to expand the application scenarios of intelligent networking.The first self-driving bus in Tonglu County, Zhejiang Province, China, has been put into road testing recently, attracting widespread attention from citizens. The vehicle, which is 5.99 meters long and has 9 seats, is equipped with intelligent perception systems such as LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar, achieving L4 autonomous driving technology. During the test, the vehicle automatically slowed down and braked in front of a zebra crossing, showing good intelligent reaction ability.Pan Yijun, deputy director of the Information Network Department of Tonglu County Transportation Development Group, said that the vehicle is currently in the stage of unmanned testing, and will be put into use after the test is completed to provide a smart travel experience. The self-driving bus has a maximum speed of 30 km/h, and the total length of the driving route is about 10 km, connecting the core area and the high-speed railway station.It is reported that Tonglu plans to deploy 5 self-driving buses, including 2 tourist shuttle buses, by 2025. In addition, Tonglu has created 8 major application scenarios such as smart public transport, and will promote the construction of rural application scenarios such as unmanned guidance vehicles in the future to build a comprehensive intelligent networking application ecosystem. Recently, the testing area of smart and connected vehicles in Hangzhou has been expanded, and Tonglu has been fully included, providing a broader scenario for technology upgrading.The vehicle is equipped with intelligent perception systems such as LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar, achieving L4 autonomous driving technology.
